I don't think it is new as I found out about support a while ago (at least
4.x, probably 3.x). I don't have 4.0 installed any longer though so I can't
confirm that at the moment.

How was your test set up? Below are the results I see in the field targeted
by libURLSetLogField when executing a PUT or DELETE call.

Testing PUT:

put "what" into url "http://google.com"
